There's a Zen saying: "Eat when hungry; sleep when tired." That sums
up the simple philosophy of yoga. But how often do we actually do
that? We tend to ignore the signals of our body, eat when we're not
even hungry and stay up when we're tired.
Sleep is a medicine in itself. It rests the nerve cells of the brain
and body, and preserves vital energy. When we relax, the body
recharges and the mind recovers its strength. But too much sleep is
harmful. The old saying, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes one
healthy, wealthy and wise" is still good advice. Some of those old
adages really did have a useful message!
